<h3 class="docSection1Title">Examples in the Text</h3>
<p class="docText">This book contains many examplesapproximately 10,000 lines of source code. All the examples are in the C programming language. Furthermore, these examples are in ANSI C. You should have a copy of the <span class="docEmphasis">Unix Programmer's Manual</span> for your system handy while reading this book, since reference is made to it for some of the more esoteric and implementation-dependent features.</P>
<p class="docText">Almost every function and system call is demonstrated with a small, complete program. This lets us see the arguments and return values and is often easier to comprehend than the use of the function in a much larger program. But since some of the small programs are contrived examples, a few bigger examples are also included (<a class="docLink" href="ch16.html#ch16">Chapters 16</a>, <a class="docLink" href="ch17.html#ch17">17</a>, <a class="docLink" href="ch18.html#ch18">18</a>, and <a class="docLink" href="ch19.html#ch19">19</a>). These larger examples demonstrate the programming techniques in larger, real-world examples.</P>
<p class="docText">All the examples have been included in the text directly from their source files. A machine-readable copy of all the examples is available via anonymous FTP from the Internet host <a class="docLink" target="_blank" href="ftp://ftp.uu.net">ftp.uu.net</a> in the file <tt>published/books/stevens.advprog.tar.Z</tt>. Obtaining the source code allows you to modify the programs from this text and experiment with them on your system.</p>
